Chapter 644: Chapter 516: I’ll Pay!

In the Book of the Dead.

The golden dog Teddy, which had been lying on the ground with squinted eyes, finely sensing the growth of the world,

Suddenly jumped up the next second.

"Little Wu, something has happened!"

Teddy’s eyes widened as it looked around and sniffed softly, making a whining sound.

Wu Xiaode, who had been focused on the battlefield, now had to divert his attention to ask:

"Hey, you’re a world-class artificial intelligence life form, not a real dog, why are you so anxious and agitated?"

"To make you pay attention to this situation, my Brother Wu."

Teddy grinned, showing his sharp teeth as if ready for whatever was to come:

"In this struggle for dominance, because you three have been too much of underdogs, the balance can no longer hold. Look—"

"The world is awakening."

A jump went through Wu Xiaode’s heart.

Indeed, Teddy was a world-class artificial intelligence life form; asking it about worldly matters was never wrong.

"Will it affect the battle situation?"

Wu Xiaode whispered.

"It will have a great impact—according to the intelligence we’ve gathered, all forces will not allow this world to fall into someone else’s hands, so no matter what, someone is going to die," Teddy said.

It spun around in place several times as if searching for something.

Suddenly.

Teddy froze, eyes locked in one direction.

It was extremely cautious, whispering softly:

"Ah... I see the core of the world... the first thing it does upon awakening is to pay attention to this battle..."

"Quick! Little Wu, do you have anything valuable!"

Wu Xiaode, not understanding, asked, "What are you going to do?"

Teddy gave him a sideways glance and lowered his voice:

"After you came to this world, you’ve been diligently liberating spirits on the Naihe Bridge. It should have a favorable impression of you. Now, I’m going to communicate with it to further win its favor!"

Understood.

It was going to pay respect to the higher power.

Sheesh, artificial intelligence knew how to give gifts too?

But in the current situation, as a newcomer facing Elder Wu, Granny Yin, and the Lion King—three old-world life forms—

I must secure some leverage!

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts raced, and he suddenly remembered Satan’s privilege of coming and going freely on the Naihe Bridge.

—It was because of gold!

Elder Wu had also mentioned that this world had no gold.

They were about to exhaust their resources in this world, which is why they had to come to him for more.

If that’s the case—

Then isn’t it obvious what should be gifted?

"Do you have a space storage tool?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes!" Teddy indicated the bell on its neck.

"I’ll give you one ton of gold. Take it as a gift to congratulate it on its awakening," Wu Xiaode said.

Teddy was overjoyed and replied continuously:

"Good! It will definitely like this gift!"

Wu Xiaode reached out and touched Teddy’s bell on its neck with the Holy Treasure Ring.

One ton of gold was transferred.

"This matter is up to you," Wu Xiaode said.

"Don’t worry, other world-class life forms don’t have enough gold to give it, nor can they leave the battlefield to communicate with it. Only an existence like me can do this—I’ll try to win you a good fortune!"

After saying this, Teddy leaped forward from the Book of the Dead and instantly disappeared.

Wu Xiaode withdrew his gaze and looked back at the center of the arena.

Elder Wu, Granny Yin, and the Lion King looked tense, quickly discussing their strategy.

"The Shadow World is very special and requires specific items to be discovered,"

said the Lion King.

"Even if we can find it, we have no understanding of her world. The shadow species are troublesome, experts at mutual destruction. If we really start fighting, we won’t gain any advantage," Granny Yin said.

"That’s very possible; she is a madwoman—let’s change the target," Elder Wu shook his head.

"That young man’s world..."

The three of them pondered.

"No good either, his world has already been destroyed, unless we reset his world," Granny Yin sighed.

"Reset his world? It requires an enormous amount of World Source Power to reset a world. Who of you is willing to expend Source Power?" Elder Wu asked.

Granny Yin and the Lion King remained silent.

—Resources were already scarce, and now a large outlay was expected?

Are they looking for a quicker death?

"There’s one more who ran away, and even if he runs to the ends of the earth, he still belongs to this world; we can pull him back!" said the Lion King.

"That’s right, we can resolve the methods of escape used by the technology side once we understand the principles. It’s worth a try!"

"Besides, killing him would yield his world’s resources to replenish our own losses."

The three quickly reached a consensus.

Granny Yin silently took out a card and said, "This is his other identity card; in fact, I was the one who processed it, and his presence has always been on it."

Elder Wu was delighted and said, "That’s excellent, let’s bring him back!"

"Wait a moment, I’ll extract his essence."

Granny Yin reached out into thin air as if grabbing something from the ID card.

A faint dark essence rose from the ID card and started to gather in her hand.

Wu Xiaode, engulfed by Everyday City’s embrace, witnessed this scene and immediately took out his own ID card.

— It was the one Elder Wu had made for him.

He couldn’t keep it any longer!

With a flash of his long sword, he slashed the ID card into shreds.

The next second.

Indeed, several lines of ice crystal small characters popped up:

"Your Butterfly Soul Sword possesses an attribute that ensures it hits its target."

"The sword has struck a timed attack tool hidden within the ID card, reducing it to shreds."

"This is a kind of high-level tool ordinarily undetectable; its level could reach the Mysterious Level, so the book did not notice it."

That was close!

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but sweat for himself.

If it weren’t for seeing Granny Yin do this, who would have thought there could be such a mechanism within an ID card?

He looked towards Elder Wu, only to see the old man’s face change slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, showing no emotion.

— The Lion King is outwardly evil, Granny Yin is adept at scheming, but none can compare to this sanctimonious old man!

While thinking this, Wu Xiaode changed his location and found a new place to hide.

At this moment.

He floated above the three great worlds, within the endless expanse of the Dark Void.

The same was true for the three Honorable ones opposite him.

Suddenly, Granny Yin said, "It’s done! Now we must all cast magic together and pull him back."

Elder Wu and the Lion King nodded in agreement.

Granny Yin’s handprints changed, and she shrieked, "Come back to me!"

A streamer-like rope appeared in her hand, which she yanked back with all her might—

The other end of the rope plunged into the Void, became taut, and then rapidly retreated back.

In the dark Void, a voice of despair suddenly rang out:

"No! I don’t want to fight with you at all!"

Before the words ended, a figure rushed back from a distant place.

Boom—

A new world began to emerge next to the three below.

It was the world of the man who had tried to escape!

"Attack as soon as our borders connect," Elder Wu said.

"Okay," the Lion King responded.

Both looked down at their own worlds.

The species of their worlds were already arrayed at the borders, ready to charge at any moment.

The man tumbled through the Void.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and then burst into harsh laughter, "Go on, kill me! I’m right here. Come at me. Don’t touch my world; come at me."

Elder Wu and the Lion King just coldly watched him, paying no heed.

Granny Yin, however, laughed and said:

"It’s not that easy. We haven’t acquired new resources for a long time; we’ll clean out your world first before dealing with you."

The man’s face turned pale, but his expression calmed, revealing a determined look as he said:

"Keep dreaming."

From his waist, he took out a ticking remote and said with a grim smile:

"I’ve planted nuclear weapons all over the world; everything will be contaminated. You won’t get anything!"

The three of them immediately changed their expressions.

"Don’t be rash! We can talk about it!" Elder Wu quickly said.

"Why seek death? We’ve been trapped here too long; our resources are depleted—we just want to demand wealth, and you can still make a comeback." Granny Yin also forced a smile.

"You dare press it? Press it!" the Lion King roared.

Elder Wu and Granny Yin kicked him together.

— We finally get a chance at some resources, and you want him to self-destruct?

The man looked at the three and shook his head:

"Do you think I’d fall for that?"

"Farewell, you scum."

He was about to push the explosion button when a voice suddenly emerged from behind him:

"Don’t die, I’ll help you fight them."

The man was startled, slowly turning to look back.

He saw nothing.

Wu Xiaode’s voice, however, continued to ring in his ears:

"No need to seek death; play their game."

The man said, "But I—"

Wu Xiaode interrupted him, "I have already seen your world. The species and civilization have developed nicely, but your world has suffered a lot from natural disasters and needs recovery..."

"I’ll fund the war."

"However long they want to play, we’ll play with them."
